your body to superphysical speeds, you can phase yourself out of reality leaving yourself effectively intangible. While you will be able to perform most actions, only those who are phased as you are will be able to interact with you. If you attempt to attack someone who is not phased, then you will be brought back into alignment with reality.

| Syntax: | WORM VORTEX <target> | |
| Details: | Suck someone, willing or not, from the opposite side of the wormhole who is either in the
same location or adjacent to its end, providing they do not have the density defence. The process will cause the wormhole to tear at their body, dealing magical damage to them if they are a declared enemy of yours. If your target is bound, then density defence will have no effect. | |

| Syntax: | WORM SOURCES | |
| Details: | Sense out all wormholes in your area and discern where they each connect to. | |
